Hey!,I remember something! I've got a amazing and funny tree near my home. One half is completely pink(even the leaves) and the other half is completely green! Oh,and in the middle of that tree there is a patch of goldish-yellow,red and orange. I haven't got a photo of that amazing and cool tree. But you can imagine what it looks like. I wonder if your tree will go in the same process as mine? If it does, can you please send me a photo? If only I entered that challenge, I could have given you a 10.
By the way, that sign and fire hydrant is annoying.

| too bad there is a stop sign in the shot. The contrast between the dogwood (?) and the house is great. Nice composition, but next time try walking a few more feet to the left and try to get rid of the stop sign. |

| I'd rather see more of that pretty tree than the background. |

| To me this photo look very harsh. I think the pure white house in full sunlight is just too much. The stop sign and the power lines also detract. I does look like a beautiful tree and I think that if you shot this later in the day, when the light was not so harsh, and composed it so the tree filled the frame it would make a great shot. Keep working at it! |

| This does show the entire tree.....but a whole lot of other things too. The white of the house gives a good contrast, but with so many elements in the frame, it detracts from the subject. Focus seems indeterminate, I can't tell what is strongly in focus, very little detail of the tree. 5 Rob the Swash |

| make sure your principal subject is in focus. try thighter crop and the rule of 3rd in your composition. here, everything but the three was not necessary, just a branch or few flowers of the tree would have given a better image. Hope that helps. Keep up submitting. |

| This is an interesting shot. At first I thought this house was on wheels till I realised they were bushes under the house. The power lines are pulling my eyes away from the tree a little. |

| Oh, wow...all the "busy-ness" of the rest of the photo really distracts from you subject, the flowering tree...the unattractive white house, the telephone lines, the water hydrant and ...is that an overturned shopping cart on the lower right? Plus, the stop sign blocking part of the tree didn't help at all either. I think the white house being in back of the tree and the bluriness blew out the colors of the tree, so the pink color of the flowers got lost. I would try getting much closer to your subject and using the macro setting on your camera, if you have one. Or finding a similar tree in bloom elsewhere with more pleasing surroundings. Those blooming crabapple trees are everywhere. I even have one in my front yard, but it wasn't in bloom yet this week to shoot it. Keep trying...I'd like to see what you do with the next challenge. Just remember to get closer to your subject. |

| Hmmm - lets see we have a house, power-lines, a stop sign, Oh, and a tree! |

Greetings.. this is a special comment from me because it is the 5000th comment I have left on DPChallenge, so I'm gonna give you as in-depth on this one as I can :)
First of all, you met the challenge by showing 'flora' in your photograph. The tree is plainly visible.
Compositionally, this photo is a 'literal' view of a tree in front of a house. There's not much special about this view, and the view doesn't create a sense of 'wow' for me. There are also a lot of distracting elements in this photo. The back of the stop sign is blocking part of your tree...
One thing you may want to try when making a photo is looking for some different and intriguing perspectives. What I see here is simply a tree in front of a house with some pink blooms on it. The pink blooms are the interesting element of this photo, so maybe you could work specifically with those and fill your frame with a few of them?
Creative perspectives will carry you a long way in the photography arena. Show people something they haven't seen before... or show them someting common from a perspective that they are not used to seeing... In a lot of cases, the 'detail' is what makes a photo strong... especially in this particular challenge. This challenge doesn't really lend itself well to creating moods with wide angle scenes.
Take a look around the photos in this challenge that you think are strong and ask yourself what makes them so powerful? Developing the 'eye' is one of the fun parts of photography :)
Cheers....

| lovely spring flora - however the composition detracts from the tree. This picture is mostly house, wires, stop sign and fire hydrant. You need to find someway to isolate the tree, or a part of the tree, or put it in contrats with perhaps one other item - the pink buds against the red of the STOP sign? |

| You need to get closer to the subject, which is the tree. The house overwelms the shot and takes away from the tree. |
